When converting net_device_stats to rtnl_link_stats64 sign extension is triggered on ILP32 machines as6c1c509778changed the previous "ulong -> u64" conversion to "long -> u64" by accessing the net_device_stats fields through a (signed) atomic_long_t. This causes for example the received bytes counter to jump to 16EiB after having received 2^31 bytes. Casting the atomic value to "unsigned long" beforehand converting it into u64 avoids this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
